Everlasting Word

Verse of the day: Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.

Many things in life come and go. Friendships, jobs, etc. Cars, and houses, get old, some are rebuilt or remodeled, while others are replaced, abandoned or demolished. Popularity, and status, come and go. Much of what we put value on is vanity, and generally does not last. All of it stays behind when we die; yet, many will sacrifice life, and relationships (family) to possess or attain it. This world, the heavens, and the earth, according to God's Word, will be destroyed by fire, and renewed. All as we know it will pass away. So, why do we put more value, and importance, on things that will not last, and have no eternal value? Our relationship with Jesus is eternal. His Word, its principles, and truths, will outlast all that we see around us, and is more valuable than any precious metal that exists. So many today (born again believers) are so easily deceived by false teachers, and often worry about the times we live in, because they spend little to no time reading, and studying, God's Word. There are many things that are coming, that none of us can stop from happening. There will be those, who even call themselves Christians, and pastors, who will take advantage of that for their own gain. We, as followers of Jesus, need to be able to recognize false teachers, and not be stressed over what is happening in the world today (because it already tells us what is going to happen). The only way to accomplish that, is to treasure the Word of God for what it is. It is the single most valuable thing we possess. It teaches us who our God is. It contains His truth, and is our guide for living. By it, we will learn how to gain treasure that will never perish, because it is treasure we will gain when we are finally with Him. The bottom line is that we must make the Word of God a priority in our life, as it is the only thing we possess that is of everlasting value (besides eternal life in Christ).
